    Very nice. It looks like a folly but I am sure it wasn’t

      It is one of the buildings of mystery in Rennes-le-Chateau. I can’t find too much information on the tower itself which is why I didn’t add any with the photo.

    Undoubtedly, it was erected to inspire a following generation to build a path and make money of past genius.

    This is what I call, a nice tower. As a kid I would draw castles and they all looked like that. This has a beautiful architecture. I think, you did not know where to start looking, in a lot of places you visited.

      You are right, there is so much more I wanted to see here. I could have spent all day there :-) The architecture was interesting and so were the windows and sculptures within the church. And there were those amazing views over the Aude Valley :-)

    What a stupendous piece of architecture – those battlements!

    What a glorious specimen. No doubt by the looks of the contours, this may the only photographic angle but it is a really good one at that.
